It's been a long long time..

Well, yet again it's been a long time since I have posted anything on this blog.. A lot had happened in my life lately. Good things and bad things. I have been to several more horse shows! The Hunter Pace with was at Ashland farm on Oct 31st 09 was sooo fun! It was my fist time doing the Hunter Pace and I plan don doing it again this year. It was a 6 mile ride though trails and fields and there were a few jumps you could jump(I jumped all but one ;). Oh, and you were timed. I had a GREAT team!!! Rachel, Ellie and I placed 2nd in our group!! Then after that was a schooling show at Poplar Place farm. I did dressage and a jumping round. In dressage I think my score was like 63% and I got fifth place. Then in jumping I fell off and I was eliminated. BUT, I did finished all of the jumps other than the one I fell off at. But then we schooled cross country. That was great!!! Cassie did SOOO good!!! So all in all that day was good. Then I had another show at Big Bear farm on December 5th 09. It was FREEZING COLD!!!!!!!! I did a three phase which is dressage, cross country, and show jumping. Dressage was really good and my score was like 34%(I think) and I was in 1st place!!! Then came cross country... I was SO scared!! I think we had like 4 refusals but we weren't eliminated. We moved to 2nd place(in cross country and show jumping it was only me and another girl). But in show jumping we had a clear round and I had fun!! Then it was time to school cross country..It was mostly good. I fell off yet AGAIN! It was my fault though :P So Cassie and I ended the day with a good experience, more things to work on, another 1st place ribbon, and another 2nd place ribbon :D Oh and I had fun!
I will post a video of the show later.
